"I'm not a person used to hiding, I don't want to do it this time either. Trivially, because there is nothing to be ashamed of. What I think is that, as much as you can pretend not to see it, it was all studied, scientifically, at the table. Not from Fanpage, but from an entire circuit, or circus, if you like ".

So Giorgia Meloni, in a video posted on social media, goes to counterattack on the Fanpage investigation aired last Thursday in Piazza Pulita on La7.

"Three years of infiltrated journalist, 100 hours of footage, from which 10 minutes of arbitrarily cut and stitched videos are extrapolated, placed in prime time two days before the elections so that they would end up in the newspapers on the day of election silence. When they can talk about you and you can't defend yourself, when people have to decide whether or not to vote for you the next day, because today we vote ", continues the leader of Fratelli d'Italia, who confirms that she asked Fanpage" the entire film of these 100 hours to know exactly how things went and how people behaved in order to act accordingly ”.

“The Fanpage director - continues Meloni - replied that my request is obscene. What is there that cannot be shown in those videos? What is there I must not see? ".

"The images struck me too - he admits -, I ask for those videos also and above all to get to the bottom of the story. Obscene is not my request, but the response of the Fanpage director".

Finally, a request to the conductor of Piazza Pulita Corrago Formigli: “Next week, again during the election campaign, he will make another episode on this issue. I trust that this video of mine will also be broadcast in its entirety ”.

The conductor has made it known that Giorgia Meloni is invited to the broadcast on Thursday, which will also be attended by the director of Fanpage Francesco Cancellato.

THE REPLICA - “No poisoned meatballs and no clockwork inquiries, but a long and rigorous job. The deontological code and the civil code do not foresee a calendar that tells when to go out, then when an investigation concerns a candidate I believe that for the public interest it should be broadcast before the elections ”, replies the director of Fanpage Francesco Cancellato.

On the 100 hours of footage: “They will be acquired by the prosecutor who opened a file. If Giorgia Meloni believes that the investigation has been set up with art, she has all the legal instruments to assert her reasons, but I tell her that a Roman greeting does not turn into a handshake ”.

"I do not believe - continues Cancellato - that the apologia for fascism is folklore. In those sequences there are serious declarations - songs and references to Nazism, the release on bombs on boats loaded with migrants - especially if made by or in the presence of candidates. Then there is also the relevant issue of forms of financing, which if confirmed would be an offense ".
